My Emotionless Goddess

The King was asthmatic and the dust did nothing but to worsen the situation. He started breathing with difficulty and in no time he fainted. Justin, who was supporting him all this time, had to catch the king from falling.

” Father!” He shouted. Panick painting his face. He could not let anything happen to the king.

He kept shaking the King, prompting him to wake up but the King was unresponsive.Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

Nikolai, who was closely following the duo, stepped ahead and tried feeling the king’s breathing by bringing his finger near the king’s nose.

” He is still breathing, let’s hurry up. We are almost at the exit, he can be saved.” Nikolai urged the man. Without waiting for another word, Justin lifted the King and was helped by Nikolai to put him on his back. The path was already crumpled, so with Justin carrying the King, it proved to be hard. But he was determined to get him to the hospital. He couldn’t let his woman lose her father yet. Besides, the king raised him for years and made him whoever he is now. He was a father to Justin before being a father in law.

Carrying the King slowed the whole journey. Someone was getting pissed off by the slowness. He was impatient. He understood why his Boss said that they should keep the King alive but with the current situation, he wasn’t sure anymore the King would make it. He wanted to get to the other side and get free from these people. Staying with your enemy in the same place was torturous to him.

He looked at the queen and surprisingly, she was calm. He didn’t expect that from her. She was supposed to be ecstatic about the current development but why did he see worry in her eyes? Who was she worried about? She always remained indifferent to everything, so what changed now? Was she having second thoughts about the whole thing? He couldn’t tell so he kept quiet and endured his annoyance.

After walking for God knows how long, they finally reached the exit. Justin pushed the metal gate covering the path and was assaulted by the light from the sun. They had taken turns carrying the King and his breath at this point was laboured. It seemed like if he didn’t receive any medical help soon, they might lose him.

Justin wanted to hurry up and send the King to the hospital but was met by a surprise after he emerged from the cave.

” I have been waiting for you for so long, your highness.” A voice taunted him. Justin looked up to be met by the face of the traitor. He was surprised for a split second but immediately put his emotions at bay.

” What congress man do you want?” He questioned coldly, his fists clenched tightly. He was itching to punch the bastard on his face but he had to control his anger for now.

” What do I want? Of course I don’t want that pathetic half dead Man. Hand him over to me and I will leave peacefully.” He said seriously.

” Ànd you think I will allow you to lay your filthy hands on my father?” Justin exploded. His eyes emit fire balls, literally.

The Congress Man laughed like he heard the most ridiculous thing in his life.” Your father? You’ve got to be f*cking kidding me? You are a piece of trash he picked up from the streets to serve as a distraction to keep his stupid daughter alive. Now that she has already been crowned, what are you still pretending about? Do you think you are still the mighty crown prince anymore?” The man mocked Justin.

” He raised me, that is enough to make him my father. I don’t care what reasons he had for adopting me, but as long as I am alive, I am not letting you touch him.” Justin growled, his actions surprising the congress man but he immediately recovered from the shock. He had initially thought that the little dumb prince would be hurt by the king’s actions of crowning someone else besides him but it seems like he was wrong.

It was either the boy was a muddlehead or he was good at pretending. But that didn’t matter anymore. Since he could manipulate him into handing over the Old Man, he’ll just get rid of him.

” Don’t force me to shoot you.” He said with an evil smile but his voice was serious.

” Stop this madness!” The queen roared. Of course, it was Mira. The Congress man’s attention shifted to Mira now and he smiled yet again. But this time, it was sinister.

” Oh! I almost forgot about you, my queen!” The man said mockingly. ” You almost fooled us all. You caused a huge loss on our side but you will pay for it, you will pay it for impersonating the queen, Mira Howards.” He said with a dark voice. It was a promise. A promise of pain and cruelty. Mira shivered.

” What I don’t understand is, whose orders are you following?” The Man added.

Despite the nervousness, Mira still stood her ground and denied all the allegations.

” I think you are out of your mind now. I fooled you or are still being fooled? Think about it, how do you impersonate the queen? That’s even absurd. Nobody has the guts to do Such a ridiculous thing.” Mira said with a straight face although she was shivering inwardly. It seems like her cover was already blown. She didn’t know for how long she can still continue pretending. But One thing was certain, the man was not aware of who she was working for.

She wanted to turn and look at Justin, but she fought the urge to. That might blow his cover too and that’s the last thing she wanted, being pushed to a corner helpless.

” How did you know where we were?” Justin asked a silly question. Ofcourse, it must be because someone betrayed them. What else could it be? But the aim was not to look stupid. He wanted to stroll through time and maybe, just maybe, the reinforcement could reach them. He didn’t want to die here in the middle of nowhere. He had a fiancee to go back to. He had dreams to fulfil. He wasn’t married to the love of his life. He hasn’t travelled around the world with his girlfriend so how could he die? Most importantly, he promised Miranda that he will go back to her safe and sound. The last thing he wanted was to break his promise to her. It would haunt him even in hell.

” Little Prince, you are dumb, aren’t you?” He mocked, then laughed hysterically like he had lost his mind. ” Then, I will enlighten you. Someone tipped me off about your location. Do you want to know who?” He jabbed Justin. He derived pleasure from taunting him.

” Who?” Justin asked. He wanted to know who betrayed them, even if he died today, that person would pay for his betrayal. It didn’t matter if he had to turn to a ghost just to take his revenge.

” You don’t need to keep searching, I did it.” At that point, a familiar voice reached Justin’s ear and a Man walked from behind and went to stand by the congress man’s side.

” p. peter?” Justin stuttered, not believing what he saw and heard.
